SB 577 establishes a Foster Child Trust Account Program for managing federal benefits received by children in the Department of Family and Protective Services’ conservatorship. The program ensures that benefits like SSI, SSDI, and VA benefits are deposited into interest-bearing trust accounts managed by the Texas Comptroller, with disbursements made to children as they exit the foster care system, adhering to federal asset limits and eligibility guidelines.
